Abstract

Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) gene therapy has emerged as an effective treatment modality for monogenic disorders of the blood system such as primary immunodeficiencies and β-thalassaemia. Medicinal products based on autologous HSPCs corrected using lentiviral and gammaretroviral vectors have now been approved for clinical use, and the site-specific genome modification of HSPCs using gene editing techniques such as CRISPR–Cas9 has shown great clinical promise. Preclinical studies have shown engineered HSPCs could also be used to cross-correct non-haematopoietic cells in neurodegenerative metabolic diseases. Here, we review the most recent advances in HSPC gene therapy and discuss emerging strategies for using HSPC gene therapy for a range of diseases.
